Lots to unpack here.
There's no moral core to the west. Once that was religion but now it's just the market. The last chance as a secular moral society was if the German communists succeeded and coupled their industrial base with the pre-industrial Soviets to avoid the pitfalls of the Weimar Republic and Stalin having to rush that process. Life is damned as a result and with it Gaia.
i hate allemannic eurocope like this so much
literally any european country, or a bit more of asia/america couldve put sufficient resources in the red camp. and the reds themselves could have played the cold war better (sinosoviet split anyone?)
That's by far the most doomer shit I have ever heard. What about China? Does Matt not think a revolution is possible any more?
There are two socialist futures:
The lost one of the 1920s which resulted in everything since
The potential one that China seems most capable of achieving as it sheds the market structures it used to build up its industrial capacity
I don't know Matt's view on China's growth but there's still room for that second attempt and they have the best of an industrial and agrarian economy combined. It'd certainly help if the US or Europe suddenly became socialist, but they don't have that same dependency on a larger or more advanced partner because they're the largest and most advanced country in the ways that matter.
I don’t know if I’m just overly optimistic but things seem to be getting worse in the US, and if neoliberal policies keep taking away public safety nets I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw violent revolt of some kind very soon.
We just saw large scale violent revolt like 3 years ago (BLM).
We will surely see more. Especially if trump comes back to power. Lmao. 
He's expressed optimism about China. He's definitely said between China and the US, you have to root for China.
But China is also on a tightrope.
Seems pretty straighforward to me. We're all being endlessless gnawed by the insane and evil false god of this world, doomed to eternal torment without purpose or meaning.
Satan did nothing wrong. Rebelling against the demiurge is the only rational choice.
I am rebelling against reason which, as reality is defined by the demiurge and all knowledge of the divine can only be had by transcendent and inherently irrational experience, is good and cool or something.
The demirgue is devouring the world spirt from the inside and wearing it's skin like a parasitic flatworm who's only drive is to ~~be devoured by birds~~ create more capital
The number of people who have independently or semi-independently arrived at this idea disturbs me greatly. Like, I'm happy to be in good company, but I also liked it better when I thought I was a total oddball weirdo because I thought capitalism, as a system, was a de facto evil god.
Crust punk in general has this in absolute barrels
Ok but how is the stock market doing? 📈
having been watched all the cushvlogs, I can attest to the fact that these words show amazing mental clarity, luv my big large son 
Agreed. Stringing together all of this esoteric bullshit is the work of a great mind, or a truly derranged mind, but in the end what is the difference?
The bloodclot in his brain was connecting him to the cosmos.
Could you recommend me a Cushvlog to watch that pertains to the "the failure of the German revolution doomed us all" part
The success of the Russian Revolution led to hope that other European states would follow, specially Germany, which was ripe. Instead, through violent right wing reaction, and the SPD betraying socialists and the cause, the Weimar republic ended up conceding to the Fascists, brought siege socialism to USSR and allowed the US to entrench itself as a global superpower. It is basically the idea of a hinge point where an alternate, communist reality, would have been the logical conclusion.
Ah yeah I am familiar already, I was just just hoping to hear Mr. Christman riff on the subject at length. 
He had a mini series called Hinge Points where he discussed this type of stuff
What if the Ottomans had lightsabers...
Finding out now for the first time that Matt has a subreddit. It was created 6ish months after r/CTH was banned
some of the best chapo adjacent material is Matt ranting into a bad camera angle for an hour.
With audio malfunctions 
Theory requires you to transcend the veil of the merely physical by seeking out fellow travellers to ask "does anyone have rip of this where the audio isn't dogshit?"
fiddling with apple earbud mic for 13 minutes
And singing
For sure, I just never went looking for a subreddit
i like acidmarxism it's quiet
The Words of His Holiness St. Bhagavan Shree Matt Christman (SWT) will be interpreted:
all contemporary politics are liberal neuroses caused by the death of god
Mainstream western politics are the expressions of and the coping mechanisms for neuroses caused by the ravaging of the human psyche that existing as a capitalist subject induces. The ruling class exploits this fully with the charade of two party electoral politics. The death of god refers to the end of a collective shared dream and striving by humanity towards creating heaven on earth (leftist mass movement), because...
Karl Marx is the secular reincarnation of Christ
Matt talked on length once about how Communism carries elements of ancient Christian Teleological aspirations of creating heaven on Earth and possibly spawning "God" through the realization of a truly collectivist existence, seeing "God" in striving towards the common good of all. Unfortunately...
the failure of the German* revolution doomed us all
I forgot where matt mentions this, its a bit eurocentric too, but there was a revolution called the "November revolution" that occurred before WW1 in Germany. This revolution was a pivotal moment in history, because the historical conditions at that point (according to Matt) meant that the toppling of the German capitalist machine would cause a chain reaction where the entirety of europe would experience an "Arab Spring" moment, possibly leading to a divergence in history where the west may have become socialist.
Unfortunately, they were beaten by the bourgeoisie, and all revolutionary energy was devoted to WW1, all momentum was lost as millions literally died, therefore...
the battle of armageddon already happened and satan won
According to matt, the 20th century was a truly critical time in western history where the forces of heaven (20th century socialism/communism) fought against the forces of the Demiurge (the capitalist powers).
After a long and bloody series of conflicts, in 1991, the USSR fell. Armageddon, for western socialism, one year later, Fukuyama declares history to have ended, a victory for satan.
A truly incomprehensible amount of death and suffering thus followed...
the Demiurge is everywhere, and his name is Mammon
Capitalism kills hundreds of millions of people per year, makes billions suffer lives of toil, and ravages the planet to the point of total ecological catastrophe, all in the name of "economic growth" because, as per Mammon, "Greed is Good", as such, if you put your ear to the ground...
i can hear der Weltgeist, father, and it is weeping
The driving force of capital will doom everyone it feeds on worldwide unless we act to oppose it.
How much longer until a Final Fantasy game winds up accidentally (or on purpose) cribbing this meme as the foundation for its story plot and resolution?
They will be forgiven for their sins as long as they have Cloud put on a dress and makeup again.
Couldn't be clearer tbh, OG BMF posts at least had some poetry riddles inside
I can hear der weltgeist, father, and it is weeping
Lol lmao
I haven’t kept up with the pod since 2020, but what are they like now? Because chapotraphouse should be Matt christman’s show. Motherfucker should have the fame that radlib streamers do
Matt hasn't been well for the past six months. He had a severe medical issue, which was probably a stroke, and hasn't been on the pod since. He's slowly recovering and apparently had surgery on his skull a few weeks ago. He's doing better, but it'll be a while before he's fully in the public again. Also he has a daughter now.
The rest of them are the same, but they seem very beaten down by how genocidal Israel is.
Godamnit why do the best people always go through unimaginable pain and suffering (if it was a stroke I can only imagine).
Maybe it’s a cognitive bias on my part just comparing it to what happened to Michael Brooks in 2020
Matt did a whole bunch of his own streams/chats/podcasts live on twitch in the last few years, most of which are amazing. Able to be found by looking for CushVlogs or GrillStream, you can find them online.
I love matt christman
Gog and Magog are at work in the US. This confrontation is willed by Lenin, who wants to use this conflict to erase His enemies before a new age begins.
too doomer for me thanks
Really miss the mad prophet vibes
Gnostic/Marxist synthesis.
